Well, The Gilded Age does not relatively solution how Watson is aware of Flora. When Flora sends her footman to ask Watson why he's all the time watching her, Watson asks Flora, "You don't know me?" Flora responds with genuine skepticism: "Should I?"

The thriller of Flora's character has yet to be resolved. (SPOILERS)

One fan idea for Watson's interest in Flora is that Watson is Flora's father and is thus watching her from afar to make sure she's OK. After all, he did know her title, and she does look sufficiently old to feasibly be his daughter. And if she's by no means met him prior to, that may indubitably provide an explanation for why Flora has no recollection of who he is.

However, there may well be a bit bit of a problem with this father-daughter theory. In the Season 1 finale of The Gilded Age, Watson spots Flora at the Russell's grand ball and seems positively forlorn when she walks in arm-in-arm with her husband, Robert.

So, is Watson her father... or most likely an outdated lover? The show does not solution the query earlier than Season 1 finale ends. Thankfully, the show has already been renewed for a second season, so hopefully we will get some answers!
